2018 Model 3 vibration. It's not the tire balance.
I don't have the expertise to say one way or the other. My buddy recommended them. They have a long history in the area amongst racers and club cars. I doubt I'l go back though.- Vafer2k

2018 Model 3 vibration. It's not the tire balance.
I'm afraid I don't have pix of the tire. They were original Michelins. I doubt it would show. At Tesla, showed me the uneven wear on the front tires.

2018 Model 3 vibration. It's not the tire balance.
I can feel the car vibrate at 60mph+ as if one or more of the wheels were off balance. I took it to a reputable shop (Custom Alignment & Balance, in Mt.View, CA) who do road force balancing. They confirmed all 4 wheels were zero'd out and in perfect balance. They tried to do further diagnostics...- Vafer2k
